UK population becomes more diverse as immigration increases

The number of foreign-born immigrants has risen in England and Wales and white British people have become a minority in London.   According to the 2011 census, the number of foreign-born residents has risen by nearly three million since 2001 to 7.5 million people.
That means about one in eight - 13% - of residents were born outside the UK.

The most common birthplaces outside of the UK for residents are India, Poland and Pakistan. The number of ethnic white British people is down to 80%.
London has become the first region where white British people have become a minority.
Some 45% (3.7 million) of people in the capital described themselves as white British, down from 58% (4.3 million) in 2001.
The Office for National Statistics said the findings showed a "diverse" and "changing" picture.
More than half the rise in the population of England and Wales was due to migration.
